Hi, it's Sandra. Just dropped my girls off somewhere and I've got time to myself to run some errands and to just have a little wander around the shops and. And on the on the way to parking here, I was thinking about coaching and steps that I set my clients. I wanted to talk to you about the difference between setting someone. Actions where they find those steps quite easy to achieve before the next session. And. Setting steps where the client doesn't find it so easy, so where they get to the next session and haven't done any of those steps. Now the reasons for those. Could be lots of different things. They could be that they didn't have time. They could be because they weren't the right steps for them. So there's always, you know, an idea of what the best steps would be to achieve the project. But are they the right steps for that particular client in that particular moment over those next few weeks until you see them again? Maybe they weren't realistic. Maybe they were too big, maybe they were too small and so. What I tend to do when I'm working with my clients and coming up with actions for them to work on before next time is I make sure that they are really happy with that step, make sure that they know that they've got the time. And if they don't, that's also fine. But we try and be as realistic as we can and. It's not just about saying I'm going to go to the gym, you know, because when I then see them the next time. I'll say, did you go to the gym? No. Well, I didn't go to the gym. Maybe they needed to make a phone call and they were very confident about making that phone call maybe. Going to the gym wasn't the right action. Maybe going for a. A short walk might have been the right action. So thinking about the overall goal, we could go into a lot of detail here, but the point I'm trying to make is that. If. A coach doesn't set the right steps for the client. Then. There's more of a chance that they won't do that step. So if a client's overall goal is to lose weight and one of their steps is go to the gym, go to the gym doesn't really. Isn't really a specific action. It's not really a specific goal 'going to the gym'. It's like when you're going to go to the gym. Are you a member of the gym? Do you need to join it first? Do you need to go with somebody or would you prefer to go on your own? You know, how often you're going to go. There's so many different things. So a better step would be. Call the gym. To inquire about memberships. And maybe that is the only step they can work on between now and next time you see them. Or maybe they have already called the gym and their next step is to book a personal trainer appointment. Or the next step is to actually carve out half an hour in the diary to actually go and go to the gym. So 'go to the gym' isn't the best action to give a client or for the client to agree to do and I would then hold the client accountable to that. Holding the client accountable Doesn't really seem fair because. They might look at that action and think go to the gym, I don't feel like going to the gym. Whereas if it said. Go to the gym at 7:30 in the morning till 8. And then have a shower and then go to work. That's more specific. If there was a date next to it, tomorrow, I'm going to go to the gym. At 7:30 in the morning and then I'm going to go to work. Again, it gives you a specific time. So with that go into a lot of detail. The point I'm trying to make here is that if you don't set the right steps for the client, the client may not actually do that actually. Then the next time I see them, I'd say, did you go to the gym three times a week at 7:30 in the morning? Well, I went twice. Well, that's that's really good. And the praise then comes out etcetera, so. Just wanted to give you a bit of a flavour about what sort of things happen in a coaching session and how I would personally help the client set the right steps for them to achieve that goal. Anyway, that's all, I'm gonna go do some shopping now. I hope you having a good day. I'll catch up with you soon. Bye.

Just stop. Yes, that’s correct. Just stop. For 15 minutes at some point in the next few days, stop, turn everything off and just think. See what comes to mind and make some notes if you want to. You could reflect on the summer holidays, you could be curious about a challenging situation you are facing, you could get creative about some new ideas. Choose how you spend the time, distraction free. #mindful #mentalfitness #coaching #personaldevelopment #mums #coaching

🌟Life Coaching Series Title: Mindset and Resilience Title: Resilience Through Self-Compassion 📕Quote: "You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection." – Buddha Resilience is not about being tough; it's about being kind to yourself. Self-compassion gives you the strength to bounce back from setbacks without harsh self-criticism. Example: After losing a job, some people spiral into self-doubt. Those who practice self-compassion remind themselves that failure is part of life and use it as a learning experience. 💫Practical Tips: 1. Practice mindfulness meditation to reduce self-criticism. 2. Write yourself a compassionate letter after a difficult experience. 🔥Affirmation: "I am worthy of love and compassion, especially in challenging times."

"Mindfulness is like the superhero power we all have, but often forget to use. It's essentially being fully present in the moment, aware of your thoughts and feelings without judgment. It's taking a mental step back from the chaos of everyday life and focusing on the here and now. By practicing mindfulness, you can reduce stress, improve concentration, and enhance overall well-being." NUBODI offers an extensive range of holistic coaching programs designed to empower individuals to achieve personal and professional success. These programs are tailored to address specific goals, challenges, and aspirations of each client, focusing on a holistic approach that integrates mind, body, and spirit. #nubodi #lifecoach #coachlife #coach #coaching #lifepurposecoaching #lifepurpose #spiritualadvisor #spiritualcoach #nutritioncoach #dietcoach #coachingonline #lifepurposereadings #motivation #success #life #holisticlifecoach #holisticcoaching #life #mentor #business #leadership #career #healthcoaching #goals #wellness #transformation #coachingtips #coachingbusiness
